The blind boss's nanny

Lin Xiaoman immediately shook her head, her voice rising several decibels:

"Absolutely not! Chairman, I've only been back on the job for a few days! I'm not that delicate."

Lu Tingzhao looked in the direction from which her voice came. Only her slightly rapid breathing and the faint sound of the wind passing by outside the window remained in the room.

"what ever."

In the end, he only uttered those two words.

His tone returned to its usual manner, which inexplicably relieved Lin Xiaoman... This was the boss she knew, the one who was a bit difficult but at least predictable.

A restaurant in the early morning.

Lin Xiaoman laid out breakfast item by item: a sunny-side-up egg fried to a golden brown, a whole-wheat croissant baked to a crisp, a fresh fruit salad, and a glass of milk at just the right temperature.

The milky white liquid swayed gently in the glass.

Lin Xiaoman paused for a moment.

Almost instantly, a scene from last night exploded in her mind... She even felt she could still smell that scent...

"Well……"

A short, dry heaving sound escaped from his throat uncontrollably.

She abruptly covered her mouth, quickly turned her face away, and her ears instantly turned red.

Lu Tingzhao, seated in the main seat, turned his head slightly upon hearing the voice, "looking" in her direction, his tone as indifferent as ever:

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing!"

Lin Xiaoman immediately stood up straight, her voice a little strained.

"Maybe... I caught a bit of a chill when I woke up this morning, and my throat is a little sore."

As she spoke, she quickly pushed the glass of milk further away.

Lu Tingzhao took a sip of milk, and finally seemed to remember something, gently twitching the corner of his mouth.

The next second, he had the milk replaced with coffee.

This time, Lin Xiaoman surprisingly changed her own cup as well.

At lunchtime, a kitchen helper brought over a covered white porcelain stew pot and gently placed it in front of Lu Tingzhao.

"Chairman, this is a soup I made for you according to an old recipe. The chef said it's best to eat it while it's hot."

After the maid finished speaking respectfully, she withdrew.

Lin Xiaoman glanced at it curiously.

As soon as the lid was lifted, a rich aroma of medicinal cuisine wafted out.

The soup was rich and thick, and you could vaguely see some kind of uniquely shaped ingredient that had been stewed until soft and tender, with a few pieces of precious medicinal herbs floating next to it.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Bull...penis? Deer antler? And goji berries, ginseng slices...

This...this is clearly...a powerful tonic for replenishing vital energy!

Considering Lu Tingzhao's recent "abnormal" body temperature and... frequency, Lin Xiaoman felt a chill run down her spine.

The chairman is in such a state that he's like a furnace that's already burning hot. If you add more fuel to the fire, what will happen?! He might just explode on the spot?

Seeing that Lu Tingzhao had already picked up the spoon, seemingly preparing to take a bite.

"etc!"

Lin Xiaoman almost instinctively spoke up to stop her.

Lu Tingzhao stopped what he was doing and glanced at her.

"Um... the soup seems a bit too hot!"

In a moment of quick thinking, Lin Xiaoman reached out and picked up the stew pot.

"Let me blow on it for you! And while I'm at it, I'll see if the saltiness is right!"

She moved quickly, with a hint of panicked recklessness. She turned and walked towards the small tea room next door, muttering to herself:

"The kitchen might have gone a bit overboard today, let me make you some clear broth..."

Lu Tingzhao sat there, listening to her slightly disordered footsteps, followed by the extremely faint sound of liquid being poured into the sink, and the splashing sound of the faucet being turned on quickly to rinse.

His eyebrows slowly twitched upwards.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiaoman returned with a stew pot of the same style, filled with steaming hot... clear chicken soup, with two lonely goji berries floating on top.

"Uh, that dish just now... tasted a bit strange, the ingredients might not be fresh."

She calmly set down the new soup bowl, her tone serious and earnest.

"This one is better, it's more suitable for your current...physical condition."

Lu Tingzhao scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it in his mouth, and swallowed. Then, in his emotionless voice, he slowly and deliberately commented:

"Um."

"Next time, don't pour it so fast."

"..."

Lin Xiaoman froze on the spot, her blood rushing to her head, feeling as if she were nailed to the carpet.

He...he knew?!

During his lunch break, Lu Tingzhao had someone bring him a pot of perfectly heated brown sugar ginger and jujube tea, a rechargeable uterine warming belt, and a small box of painkillers.

Lin Xiaoman was absolutely stunned; these employee benefits were incredible!

She couldn't help but move closer to Lu Tingzhao, her tone exaggerated.

"Chairman, thank you so much! You understand girls so well!"

Lu Tingzhao paused the financial news broadcast and looked up in her direction:

"Adjusting the uterine warming belt to the middle setting should be the most suitable."

Lin Xiaoman opened her eyes wide.

"Wow! You even know that!"

Her tone was full of disbelief, even with a hint of inquisitive amusement.

"How come you... are so good at taking care of girls?"

The more she thought about it, the more surprised she became, and a bold guess blurted out:

"You didn't... gain experience from your ex-girlfriend, did you?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the room fell silent.

The sound of the wind outside the window seemed to be clearly audible.

Lin Xiaoman immediately regretted it. This question was too intrusive, too private!

Lu Tingzhao's face remained expressionless. A few seconds later, he slowly spoke, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger:

Why do you ask that?

It wasn't a rhetorical question, but a straightforward inquiry, which only made Lin Xiaoman more nervous.

"I...I was just guessing..."

She shrank back, her voice lowering.

"Because you did it so... thoughtfully. Unlike... well, unlike someone who would think of these things on their own."

She immediately tried to salvage the situation after she finished speaking:

"Of course! What I mean is, Chairman, you learn everything so quickly! Even taking care of people is something you can learn in no time! You're a genius!"

Lu Tingzhao ignored her forced flattery.

Those unfocused eyes were fixed precisely in her direction, as if they could pierce through the darkness and see her anxious yet curious expression.

"I don't have an ex-girlfriend."

"what?"

Lin Xiaoman didn't react.

"so,"

Lu Tingzhao paused, seemingly considering his words.

"These experiences... are not what you think."

He tilted his head slightly, as if recalling something, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Just when Lin Xiaoman thought the topic would end there and she would never get an answer, the man spoke up in a nonchalant tone:
